Title: How Long To You Think Joe Will Keep Recording?
bjorkfinity - December 3, 2006 08:40 AM (GMT)
I don't know - he's like 46 now? He's in great shape physically and mentally from what I can tell. But how long can a guitarist record good albums? And I know that guitarists and a lot of musicians NEVER quit what they're doing. I've never seen a guitarist put down his guitar and go into another area of music (Managing, Producing, etc.) because of his age. Page never did it although he should have (I saw him twice in '88 and I stand behind what I just said). Clapton hasn't, Billy Gibbons hasn't. I guess some bands just fade away like the Doobie Bros. and Steely Dan. Aerosmith sure hasn't. I have no idea what Satch be putting out when he's 55 but I can't imagine him putting out something like Love in Space or The Extremist.

uh...he's 50 now...and the stuff he's released in the 2000's has surprised me...that he CAN play some really good guitar and come up with good songs....so he'll go on for a long time!

Yes, I thought on Super Colossal, he would probably be really bad, but he wasnt as bad.

I think he will continue to record into his 70s, or as long as he can still play. As he gets older he will probable slow down and not work as much though. His music will also continue to evolve and change, which will of course piss people off (as it already has). So along the way he may loose some fans, but he will always pick up new ones.

he may finally record some jazz tracks that he's always been wanting to do...

BBKing is 80 this year... so Satch EASILY can go for 20 more years or more

Yeah, but BB King doesn't play chords - they take a lot out of you :)
I think Satch will play as long as he possibly can. At some point, I think he'll get bored with his current style/s, and do some really experimental or jazzy stuff. And I bet even if he can't play anymore for some reason, he'll still write music.

Oh yes satriani does thousands of chords i forgot about that......? What are you on about it takes alot out of you...:P Its only hands... hell be less active on stage maybe end up in a seat when he plays but still his playing will get better unless he gets arthritus or sumin unlucky.

Just kidding about the chords. Oh man - arthritis would seriously suck for any guitarist. Joe's already beaten tendinitis, though...

...and i didnt know that! :mellow:

As he get older maybe he will play more calmer songs. Personally I wouldn't mind at all because he knows how to write great mellow tunes.
SirChick - December 5, 2006 02:13 PM (GMT)

No, your fingers need to relax for a while and I think it will go away eventually.
SirChick - December 5, 2006 04:29 PM (GMT)

I think that's probably what he did. I think he explained it in the article, but I can't find it now for the life of me.
Here's a link for a potential tendinitis fix:

seppe_sai - December 8, 2006 06:35 AM (GMT)

those are good musicians and guitarist for whose the age its not a problem
i think satch has many time yet
SirChick - December 8, 2006 03:18 PM (GMT)
I say till hes 80! He does tour ALOT... he loves it he wont give it up at all. Lets hope he dont burn out though. Cos he did super collosal tour followed by DVD production which must be stress, straight into G3 tour down under and south america.. hes doing G3 in Uk or europe next summer and early next year North America as someone pointed out !
Its what he wants to do im sure... he wld hate to be at home doing nothing.
stewmunny - December 8, 2006 06:48 PM (GMT)
G3 are coming to UK next summer?? do you have an inside scoop? announcemetns are never made until it is adone deal so as not to dissapoint fans so hope you are not dissappointed if this does not happen.

Well someone who spoke to Joe backstage in my venue that i saw him at who then put a rating on the website said so. He said its Vai n Satch and some acoustic players. look for St. Davids Hall - June 22ND look for the ratings one of the guys say it, if u can be bothered to find it.
